Pros

- Jobs (in the UK) appear to be fairly secure post-DoorDash acquisition - Reasonably competitive compensation historically, but has dropped off - Still some great people left in the business

Cons

- Bafflingly short-sighted leadership decisions, often causing massive changes and restructures throughout the year - Extremely bad job security for anyone outside of the UK HQ (see India, Aus, Holland, Spain, Germany etc.) - Poor career development opportunities, promotions often take years longer than deserved. - Insultingly low pay-rises, even for "Exceeds"/"Greatly Exceeds" employees - Mood and morale are low in the business, people in general don't seem happy with their work - Starting to adopt more US Silicon Valley corporate culture (long hours, expectation to drink the corporate kool-aid)

Pros

The company is presented as a young and dynamic environment, at least from an external communication point of view.

Cons

Unfortunately, the internal reality is very different. Career progression mainly favors people who are close to management or who know how to please the right individuals, while meritocracy clearly comes second. Losing valuable employees does not seem to concern upper management at all. Many department heads lack experience and competence, which leads to constant issues, misunderstandings, and organizational problems that directly impact daily work and team morale. The company promotes itself as “young and dynamic,” yet hires employees over 60 whose experience does not appear to be properly assessed or effectively leveraged, creating a strong inconsistency between image and reality. Salaries are not competitive compared to the market. Salary increases and bonuses are very low and demotivating. Benefits are either almost non-existent or purely symbolic.
